Unbeatable! Rebecca Bell wins pony dressage

At just 16 years of age, Rebecca Bell of Great Britain is already the proud owner of three championship medals, most recently winning a team gold medal with her British team-mates at the European Pony Championships in Malmö. She proved to be more than worthy of her status as favourite in the 2015 Österreichische Campagnereiter Pony Trophy at this year’s Vienna Masters, claiming victory with her twelve-year-old Rhinelander mare Valido’s Sunshine (73.120%).

Raphael Netz (GER) also put in a solid performance with stallion Schierensees Don’t Do It – raised in the same stable as FS Don’t Worry – achieving second place with a score of 72.094%. European Championship silver medallist Lana Raumanns (GER) took the number three spot. In the saddle of Dutch pony Den Ostriks Dailan, she missed out on second place by the narrowest of margins – just 0.001 seconds. Austrians Nicola Louise Ahorner (Vienna) on Nice Blue Eyes (68.248%) and Daria Hohenwarter (Tirol) on Candyman 109 (65.598%) came fourth and sixth respectively.
